Poet, author and painter Roselle Angwin is the director of the Fire in the Head creative and reflective writing programme. Her work hinges on inner and outer geographies: the connections between self and self, self and other, self and place, and creativity and wellbeing. She has been described as ‘a poet of the bright moment... whose own source of creative inspiration is her native Westcountry, the Scottish islands, and a highly individual blend of Celtic mythology, psychology, shamanic and Buddhist thinking’. She is a passionate champion of wild places and the environment, and has led vision quest work on Dartmoor. Roselle is internationally known as a creative workshop facilitator. She’s run courses at Oxford, in Spain, France and Switzerland; annually on the Isle of Iona; for Dartmoor National Park and the Arvon Foundation, among many others. She was poet-in-residence at Sherborne Boys School in 2004/5, and at Hestercombe Gardens in Somerset as part of a Year of the Artist initiative with an environmental public art group, Genius Loci in 2000/1. With GL she also has poetry embedded in sculpted ‘cats’ eyes’ in the Cotswold Water Park cycle trail. Alongside Mimi Khalvati, Hugo Williams, Paul Matthews and Andie Lewenstein she is again tutor at Poetry Otherwise at Emerson College in August 2008. Roselle was keynote opening speaker at the Lapidus conference in 2007 (speaking on writers and the wild). She also mentors individuals, and acts as a creativity consultant. She’s a columnist for MsLexia magazine. Most recent books are a poetry collection, Looking For Icarus, and the Arts Council-supported Writing the Bright Moment – inspiration and guidance for writers. Her novel Imago is due out in November 2008; another novel and a new collection have just been completed. Roselle is also a painter.
